Weight Loss In Dogs Symptoms

2.5 yr old pug with pancreatitis, wasting away, vets are at a loss on what to do or think anymore. HELP!?

It all started when we gave him some canned Iams food (he’s normally on Natural Balance dry food but we were running low so I thought supplementing with a little canned would be fine until I could get to Petco to get more dry food). Vomitting, mucousy stools, no appetite–all the classic symptoms.

He’s been in and out of the vet office for a month now with fevers and weight loss. He started at 20 lbs and he’s down to 14 now. He literally WILL NOT eat. The vet seems to be at a loss and I HATE seeing my dog like this it’s just heartbreaking.

Please please help!

your vet should have run some tests (blood, stool/urine, etc.) to see if there’s anything wrong there. it does sound like pancreatitis, which is relatively easy to treat if caught early enough. try feeding your dog boiled chicken (no skin, seasoning or anything) and rice, or plain cooked hamburger and rice. these are easily digestable for your dog and should entice your dog to eat.
it sounds like the vet kind of dropped the ball on this if you haven’t already gotten this advice.
if this doesn’t get better, it is a deadly condition. make sure your pug stays hydrated overall and keep trying to feed him plain food (like the rice and chicken) to make digestion easier.
best of luck.
